I’m home! This will be the last travel post for a while. We were gone for two weeks and it’s good to be home. Even with all the laundry and jet lag.
Even though we like to go to Paris every year (since we lived there fifteen years ago), I always want to explore new places there. Here are some good ones that you might want to bookmark or pin for your next trip. We had three perfect days there.
Look how my extravagant birthday present from my mom complements the décor (I love you, Mom).
Another fun kitchen and housewares store that I went to is called La Trésorerie at 11, rue du chateau d’eau.
Our last evening in the hotel, we ordered Champagne and they brought out glasses for us to select… which is something I am definitely going to copy when serving bubbly at home. I already have an assortment and may add to it with flea market finds (like the pretty etched one on the right). That will solve glasses getting mixed up!
The lobby was lit with long taper candles in the evening.
And now I’m back to work…needing extra coffee in the morning, but admiring my little “souvenir” (means memory in French :).
